Hi !
Here's the first set. It's a general quiz to begin with.
1 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly ____:Who, when he had found one ____ of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."These lines form part of a parable told by Jesus Christ in explaining the value of the Kingdom of Heaven, from the Gospel of Matthew. A Berkeley grad considered naming his 'invention' after his wife Gloria but then named it after the word blanked out in the parable. However, he found that this too was already in use but went ahead albeit with a modification. How do we know it today ?
